Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, insufficient purge cycle, improper water flow over evaporator plate

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components.

  • Use filtered water: Connect the Ikea ice maker to a high-quality water filter to reduce minerals and improve clarity.
  • Run cleaning cycle: Descale the evaporator plate and water path to ensure even water flow and proper purging of air.
  • Check water distribution: Ensure the water flows evenly over the entire evaporator plate. Clean or adjust the distribution tube if needed.
  • Allow several cycles: After cleaning and filter replacement, discard the first few batches of ice to allow the system to stabilize.
